Gold Rush Days 2026Mojave Chamber of Commerce661-824-2481 Mojavechamber@gmail.com EIN 95-2386682 Dear Friends, This year Mojave is celebrating a remarkable milestone — 150 years since our founding in 1876, when the Southern Pacific Railroad established our community as a vital connection point to the Tehachapi Mountains and beyond. This anniversary is an opportunity to honor our history, our resilience, and the people who continue to shape Mojave’s story. We will commemorate this sesquicentennial during Gold Rush Days, taking place October 2-4, 2026, at Mojave East Park. The weekend will feature a community dance, a parade, family activities, an art show, local vendors, and Sunday church services followed by a barbeque lunch. All events are free and open to the public. To make this celebration truly special, we are seeking sponsors and volunteers who want to support Mojave’s heritage and help bring this event to life. Sponsorship opportunities include:
Gold and Silver sponsorships must be reserved by August 14, 2026. Payment can be made by check or through Paypal on the MojaveChamber.org website. Thank you for supporting our community and helping us celebrate 150 years of Gold, Grit, and Railroad Spirit.
Sincerely, Ted Hodgkinson, President Submitted: 05/20/26 Article By: George F. Hodgkinson |
